Host CTRL key acts like it is on when pressing ALT — at Initial Version

Reported by: Andrew Ziem Owned by:

Description

Simply installing VirtualBox 2.1.2 on Fedora 10 32-bit causes the host keyboard to malfunction. It happens even before running the VirtualBox GUI or any guests.

Bug:

  • I press ALT+F2 (to get Run Dialog) and it acts like CTRL+ALT+F2 and takes me to virtual console.
  • I press ALT+LEFT (to change tabs in Firefox) and it acts like CTRL+ALT+LEFT.

However:

  • I press F and it doesn't act like CTRL+F (to bring up search in Firefox), and CTRL+F works normally too.
  • This problem didn't happen with VirtualBox 2.1.0 or 2.0.6.

Note

  • Uninstalling VirtualBox and rebooting host fixes the behavior.
